Reason.comGlenn GarvinJan 8, 2017
Season 1 Review: If you ever longed for the Roadrunner to be turned into Purina Coyote Chow or those little Family Circus kids to be sold to a Honduran sweatshop, The Mick might be for you. Read full review

The A.V. ClubErik AdamsDec 19, 2016
Season 1 Review: The Mick prizes laughter above all—the petty sniping between kids and adults inspiring chuckles, the more elaborate and destructive set pieces going for gasps and belly laughs. When a sitcom knows its voice and sense of humor this early, growth and development can come along later. Read full review

The Detroit NewsTom LongDec 30, 2016
Season 1 Review: Like "The Simpsons," "Married with Children," "Malcolm in the Middle" and other Fox sitcoms, the ridiculous reach is what makes "The Mick" work. Read full review

Sioux City JournalBruce MillerDec 30, 2016
Season 1 Review: Olson does a great job as the title character, willing to go for anything if it lands a laugh. (Most times it does.) Read full review

Newark Star-LedgerVicki HymanJan 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: The first episode is not as edgy (or, quite frankly, as funny) as it thinks it is. Olson is a gifted physical actress but the woman-behaving-badly shtick starts off a bit toothless. The second episode is sharper. Read full review

IndieWireBen TraversJan 3, 2017
Season 1 Review: Between Olson and her talented cast-mates, there’s certainly enough here to merit future sampling, but this wannabe-badass sitcom could really earn its stripes by shedding its leash (somehow). Read full review

Season 1 Review: You may not laugh until it hurts, but there are some laughs to be had. Particularly for those who also swear by Family Guy. Read full review
